It's the first 500.

Actually all are numbered, numbers 1 to 500 were reserved to midnight sale event back in september. First one to arrive got #1 and so on. Hope this clears it up.

That's a nice steel.

So there are only 500 of it, then it must be more expensive then the mirrors edge steelbook or?

There is much more than 500 available, at least 6000 copies. NHL brand is quite popular here in finland. It might be hard to find but prices are reasonable when available.

Ah okay, I know that hockey is nummber 1 one sport in finnland and that the nhl is very popular, too.

When I was a teenager Teemu Selänne and Jarri Kurri were one of my favourite players.

This is actually a half Steelbook, half Stickerbook!

What I mean is, the entire case is a custom Steelbook (not the silver standard kind used in Stickerbooks) with the front having an embossed/raised border and an embossed title.

The back, however, has a slightly different shade of Gold sticker stuck on it, with the Finnish Flag and the print # of the Steelbook. This was probably done as Scanovo produced the Gold Steelbooks and to wait to see what county flag would be stuck on the back depending on who won.

I think this is the only Full-Steelbook but with a Sticker/Stickerbook design!
